In view of the fast depletion of fossil fuels and worsening environmental pollution related to fossil fuel use, the search for alternative fuels for diesel engines has been intensified in the last few decades. Among the many different types of alternative fuels, vegetable oils and their esters come across as good choices. They are renewable, as the carbon released by the burning of vegetable oils is used when the oil crops undergo photosynthesis. The effect of variation of injection pressure on the performance of the C.I engine using different blends i.e. 25/75v/v, 50/50v/v, and 75/25v/v 100/0 v/v, of cotton seed oil/diesel oil is investigated in the present work.
